Even with the slow shuffle of the crew change it is still faster than changing ends for two separate trains. The intense stupidity of having 4 different electrical systems on EMUs serving the several stations is something that must change. As to low platform bigots, the point of roll on roll off LEVEL platforms is rapid entry/exit.The Illinois Central figured that out in the 1920s. The facts have not changed. |
